Scoopable Cookie Pie (Stuffed with Peanut Butter Cups)

If you have seen the viral scoopable cookie trend all over your feed, this peanut butter scoopable cookie pie is the richer, bakery-style version you need to try next.

Instead of pressing all the dough into one flat layer like a traditional cookie pie recipe, this version uses separate stuffed dough mounds baked close together in a round dish. The result is golden tops, defined cookie mounds, and a soft, gooey center that collapses perfectly when you scoop into it.

And instead of stuffing it with extra peanut butter or Nutella, we are putting peanut butter cups in the center. That means molten chocolate peanut butter layers in every bite.

This is not a sliceable peanut butter cookie. This is a scoopable cookie recipe designed for the spoon moment.

What Is a Scoopable Cookie Pie?

A scoopable cookie pie is a thick, gooey cookie baked in a round dish that is meant to be scooped instead of sliced cleanly.

Unlike a skillet cookie or classic chocolate chip cookie pie, the viral scoopable cookie method uses individual dough balls placed side by side. As they bake, they puff into soft pull-apart mounds with molten centers.

This peanut butter scoopable cookie pie takes that idea a step further by stuffing each mound with a peanut butter cup. As it bakes, the peanut butter cup melts into a rich, chocolatey center that makes every scoop dramatic and gooey.

It is soft, slightly underbaked in the center, and intentionally indulgent.

Ingredients You Will Need

• Creamy peanut butter gives this cookie pie its rich base and deep flavor.
• Butter helps create golden tops and structure.
• Coconut sugar keeps everything chewy and soft.
• Maple syrup adds moisture and subtle depth.
• Egg binds the dough and helps create that gooey texture.
• All-purpose flour at 1½ cups gives the dough enough structure to puff into defined mounds while staying soft in the center.
• Baking soda and salt balance sweetness and provide lift.
• Chocolate chips add extra melty pockets throughout.
• Peanut butter cups create the molten stuffed center.
• Large chocolate discs are optional but give a bakery-style finish on top.

How to Make Peanut Butter Scoopable Cookie Pie

Step 1: Preheat oven

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch round baking dish.

Step 2: Cream together your wet ingredients

Cream peanut butter, softened butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and mix until smooth.

Step 3: Fold in the dry ingredients

Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips. The dough should be soft but thick enough to hold its shape.

Step 4: Add the peanut butter cups and form the dough balls

Divide dough into 6 to 7 equal balls. Flatten each slightly in your palm. Place one peanut butter cup in the center. Seal the dough around it completely and roll back into a ball.

Step 5: Place in the baking dish

Place dough balls in the prepared baking dish so they are touching but not pressed flat. Do not smash them down. This creates the defined mounds and bakery-style texture.

Bake

Bake for 10 to 15 minutes. The tops should be golden but the center should still look slightly underdone.

Immediately after removing from the oven, press a large chocolate disc into each mound if using.

Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping. This rest time allows the peanut butter cups to melt into gooey layers while the structure sets slightly.
